Bites my lip, fidgeting as I lean in the shadows. I see Kiba in the crowd going towards the first stage of the Chunin exams. A written test. I-I hope Kiba-kun will do well, I blush, biting my lip a little more harder. "You should stop, you'll bite through your lip at that rate." A deep and rather depressing voice says from behind me, making me jump."W-who are you??" I say as I turn. I see a red headed boy with "love" in kanji on his forehead, he has a rather large gourd on his back."He's Gaara," a blond girl says with a large fan on her back. "Gaara, don't scare the girl, will you?""Whatever... if she gets in my way I'll kill her." My face goes red with anger, then quickly vanishes. "Sorry to get you to hate me," I grumble as I walk away not caring if I'm coming out as rude. A hand stops me. I turn to see a hooded boy with a strange wrapping on his back covered in purple facepaint."Don't let him get to you, he's like that with everyone.""O-ok."I hear Gaara snicker.Then I gulp, looking at the room to the first examination.

*walks out behind gaara and the other boy and girl*.. i suggest you take your seats the exam is about to start *all three take note of my strange ears and eyes that look so out of place with my red hair*

I walk in, blushing slightly when I see that the only spots left is next to Kiba, a rather scary looking boy, and Choji. I sit next to Kiba, smiling back when he smiles at me. "Akamaru and I are so going to win, eh, Akamaru?" Akamaru's answer was a small yip. "I-I wonder what we have to do for this...""Whatever it is, it's not tough." I hope...

Looks at the test in front of me after the person explains what we have to do, I answer a few questions I know off of heart. Then I stare at it blankly. Am I really that bad? So bad I don't know more than half of these? I'm a failure... Hinata would get better than me.If only I could cheat---That's it!I activate my byakugan, looking at one of the smartest students paper with it I copy down his answers. I sideglance at Kiba, Akamaru is helping him by telling him the answers from others' sheets. I smile, putting a strand of white hair behind my ear.

* I would enter the exam area* "I always wanted to see the Chunin Exams" I said, "Maybe they will let me observe" I would look at one of the Advisors of the Exams "Excuse me" I said, "Im new to being a genin but may i see what the Chunin exams are like?

I keep on writing, hoping that the person I'm copying is getting them right. Then I notice an answer sheet in the back of the room... hmm. I focus my byakugan on that, erasing the wrong answers and filling them in with the correct answers.

*sits down at the base of the tree at the entrance of the second examination grounds and places my hand on the trunk and closes my eyes*... tell me forest what have your eyes seen in this forest recently *sits there in a meditative state and listens to what the forest has to say*

*** A reflection of time, a clock that never stop heart beating. From the far away Village, where shinobie's held the Power of the Sharingan. A prodigy walked....a broken down path In wonder. Was this even necessary? Would this not be a mistake....nether the less. To please his father, the Teenager had arrived.

Chunin exams it was? For the sake of his family's reputation. The teenager had directed himself toward's the Forest of Death. Such an awkward location to train, nether the less. Due to his lateness, he was forced to Enter by himself.

Instructed by a tutor, he would have to achieve 2 scrolls of different status. nether the less, what would this Uchiha expect within?

*was told of the teenager's presence by the trees them selves and i stand and appear next to the boy*... welcome you here to enter the exams or do you need help with something... *smiles kindly but has an air of mystery with my pointed ears and amethyst eyes and red hair flying in the breeze*

*** The teenager's attention had been diverted by the woman. What did she desire? Was this not an exam? Of course he could receive no help, thus nether the less. Both his lips had departed. Allowing a moist compilation of word's to inflitrate the thin air.***

I was told that I must get no help....so if you desire to. I would advise for you to be on your own way. I do not wish to compromise upon situations...

** Not speaking out of respect, but of the little fact he wished to Pass the exam with ease and speed. **

As the instructor says that if anyone of us fails in our three man squads we will all fail, my heart nearly skipped a beat.I-I can't fail, I-I can't do that to Karasu and kirau. Karasu is Kiba's cousin, a close friend of mine. Karasu Inuzuka, her ninja hound is so cute. Kirau is in the Aburame clan, he's rather... quiet. He ignores me, and rarely talks to me. I respect his quietness, of course, but Karasu... not so much. She's somewhat loud, and loves annoying Kirau. I see many hands go up, the people who want to quit so they don't disappoint their teammates. Sakura and Naruto both debate silently on if they should raise their hand or not. I don't think Kiba is having a problem with it, but he might be. I-if I quit, they will be disappointed in me. If I fail, they'll be even more disappointed. What do I do? I know I won't fail, but I might. The ninja might have placed the sheet there in my byakugan's vision range, just to get some of the hyuugas confused. I see Kirau look my direction, his black eyes barely visible over his long sidebang. Then I see Karasu smile in my direction, knowing I probably can see her. She does a thumbs up to me, her black dog sitting on her head just like Akamaru is on Kiba. I smile. Naruto's hand goes up, and then slams down. I look at him, slightly startled. "I won't give up!" ((If I remembered exactly what he said, I'd put it here. But I don't feel like re-watching the episode.)) As most of the room is filed out, the instructor nods. "You have all passed."My eyes widen as I de-activate my byakugan. A sigh of astonishment and relief can be heard throughout the room. What did he say?? I can't believe it, this is amazing. So the written test was just a test of courage!!I think, finally understanding why we had to do this test. He explains it, and turns out I was right. We file out, I smile at Karasu as she smiles back. Her dog, Lithium, yips happily sensing we both are happy. Kirau is emotionless, but I can see just by the faint twitch in his lips he is relieved."That wasn't so bad, was it?" Kasaru says, putting Lithium next to her."The next test is harder, don't get your hopes up." Kirau says in a matter-of-fact voice."Never did, but I think they just went down, thanks." I say, then bite my lip. I sounded so rude!! Dammit..."Whatever," we walk on to the next test.

Kirau turns to her, his expression blank. Karasu ruffles Kirau's hair, her long eyelashes brush her cheeks that have two paint markings on them. "What was that for?" Kirau looks at her."Nothin'," and she walks away.

*laughs and walks on ahead again and stops at the gates of the forest to where everyone will be doing their exams*.. now we wait for everyone to arrive >.> and eclipse and blizzard to bring in the slow pokes..
